The Jetsons: Live-Action Sitcom to Be Shopped to Networks

by Jessica Pena, July 3, 2017

It looks like The Jetsons might be headed back to the small screen. TVLine reports Warner Bros. is developing a live-action TV show based on the classic series.

From Hanna-Barbera, the animated show follows a family living in a future filled with advanced technology like flying cars, holograms, and robots. The original series ran from 1962 to 1963 and was then briefly revived for syndication in the mid-1980s.

Though Warner Bros. has not officially confirmed the news, the studio has reportedly hired Family Guy EP Gary Janetti to develop the new live-action Jetsons. Few details have been released, but Warner Bros. will begin shopping the sitcom to networks soon.

Earlier, we reported that Warner Bros. was developing a Jetsons feature film. No word yet on whether that project is still in the works or not.

A Live version of the Jetsons would be off the charts!!! Even in a form of a movie… I still remember how incredible John Goodman was as Fred Flintstone when they released the movie in 1994… If I were one of the execs, I’d actually work to sell BOTH programs as live series. They would both go incredibly well…

Oh, right! I can’t wait to see this new Jetsons live-action TV sitcom. I also can’t wait to see another animated film being made by Warner Bros. I hope Hanna-Barbera will still let Universal make their own live-action movie version of The Jetsons. Because I’ve been waiting for this to happen all those years and I was looking forward to it.
